Go with Green

"Go with Green" is the seventh in the series of 16 videos to "One Flushed Cheek," a collaborative project between Seth Weiner & Sadie Siegel and Maggessi/Morusiewicz. An integral part of a conceptual package consisting of a double music album and an exhibition installation, the project's videowork combines original footage, shot over the past years by Maggessi/Morusiewicz, with footage found in online-based film archives and shadow libraries, which displays the duo’s compulsive fascination with popular/underground films and video art from the 1960s–1990s, as well as auteur cinema. Using stop-motion as a formal glue, "Go with Green" samples, alters, and converges footage from radically diverse contexts: "A Portrait In Light And Heat" (dir. Bill Viola, 1979), "A Bomb Was Stolen" (dir. Ion Popescu-Gopo, 1962), "Red Desert" (dir. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1964), "Don Gabriel" (dir. Ewa Petelska, Czesław Petelski, 1966), and "Tarantula" (dir. Jack Arnold, 1955).
